This undated, secret Central Intelligence Agency debriefing memo to the Chief, CSOB, records the life story of Clevland O. Hahn, a Latvian born in 1919. It covers his family and pre-war life, the Soviet and German occupations of Latvia, his anti-communist resistance group at the Jelgava Academy, and his post-war activities in Sweden. An appendix gives numbered biographic notes on Latvian emigres, intelligence figures and police officers. The document contains no UFO material.

independent underground organization could be contacted; he also wanted
a good landing point which Hahn indicated would be the JURKAIXE vicinity
which was known to SKOBE and his Wife. Stating that he had two fully
prepared agents which could be dispatched in the next few days, Kilgour
asked Hahn for a letter which would indicate that these men were sent
by Hahn, who willingly gave such letter. The reason for the urgency
Kilgour explained, was the fact that the TIEBARS were again, just as last
spring, beginning to act peculiarly -- fearing conflict with the Russians
and Might possibly cancel their operation planned for that same 1949 -
Fell. Kilgour compared this with the TIEBAR indicision and uncertainty
in the previous spring Valdemar infiltration in which Broadway was
forced to take a hand in the last minute. Kilgonr claimed that BRCALWAY
boat with a German crew wttually landed Valdemar. This fact was confirmed
in every detail by Dr. Ginters whom Hahn met in the beginning of December
1949 for the first time since Valdemsaa s departure. In this meeting
Dr. Ginters also told Hahn that on 17 October 1949 W/T contact by the
TIEBARS with Valdemar was finally made. (Hahn states that in the 1st.
case, the TIBARS receive and send all radio messages vhile the texts are
given to and outgoing ones prepared by TILBURY). TILBURY himself informed
Hahn that radio contact with Valdemar has only become a reality because
TILBURY was able to send to Valdemar "the missing (items) in some round-
about way." At this Eame meeting Hahn volunteered for the next mission
to which TILBURY replied that "this is out of the question."
